Hi,

Would it be possible to disconnect some wires out of my junction box to improve BB speed?

I'm aware that A and B are the line itself so can't be d/c without killing the phone and BB, just not sure what the ones in the terminal are.

http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/8/...//DSC00189.JPG

From there, the line goes outside round to the office at the back to a double socket.

There's also an NTE5 socket in the front room, fed from the junction box, but only has A and B terminals connected, not the extension to the office.

Current stats are:

Down 7472 kbps Up 997 kbps
Attenuation 36 db 20 db
Noise Margin 4 db 8 db

Cheers.

The two blue and white pairs are the wiring to extensions. If you remove both of those the incoming BT line will be going no further than that junction box. Which means the double socket in the office and your NTE5 in the front room will be stone cold dead.

You could ask BT (or whoever you pay line rental to) very nicely if they can rewire the incoming line direct to which ever socket your modem/router is plugged into. But they will charge for that. But beyond that there isn't really much you can do.

Cheers guys. I'll have a look and see how much it could cost, or try and get a phone number for 1971 to give them the wiring back .

If you're download speed is 7 meg then surely that's fast enough?
